Starcast Performing Arts: Pupils take part in music and arts festival

The group from Starcast Performing Arts School Companies and Troupes attended the yearly festival of music, speech, drama and dance, on March 2. 

Principal Anna Would said: "This is the first time we have attended this festival and it was a blast! There was incredible talent from across the south east of England.

"It was also a very tough marking structure and I am delighted that all our students achieved Merit or above which is an outstanding achievement of at least 80 points. A special mention goes to Amy and Shivam who scored a phenomenal 95/100 points." 

Starcast is about to close its books until September 2024 as all schools prepare for their big summer shows. 

Students who love to sing, dance and act are invited to arrange a two-week trial at one of the schools in Salisbury, Amesbury and Fordingbridge.
